Last night, Orbán’s party, Fidesz introduced a radical amendment to Hungary’s freedom of assembly law to ban Pride events, threatening participants with facial recognition surveillance and heavy fines. 🔊 Action under Article 7 is long overdue before Hungary succumbs to Orbán’s authoritarianism!

😡 Thailand actually did it. They forcibly deported Uyghurs to China after a decade in arbitrary detention—sending them straight into danger. Absolutely disgusting. 🚨 #HumanRights 🔗 vist.ly/3mximg5

"Dividing up" Ukraine without Ukraine at the table mirrors Munich in 1938. Appeasement of an immoral, expansionist aggressor will not stop there.

OF COURSE Musk tried to point the finger at 🇺🇦 (because he is dishonest and cowardly) and OF COURSE it was baseless. Ukraine didn’t even feature in the top 20 ip list. But what DID happen is X left open a security doorway making the attack easier. www.wired.com/story/x-ddos...

“The worry (for 🇺🇸) is that the bumpy journey may lead to a different, less favourable destination. The recent bout of US unpredictability risks robbing the US of one of its important and differentiating “edges” — long-term investor confidence in policy framework and decision making.”

Trump got impeached after he got caught extorting Zelenskyy, trying to get him to conduct a sham investigation into Biden. Along with the obvious stuff, I think some of this comes down to personal animosity as well.

Meeting with Congress members before the Oval Office “discussion.”

Today’s shameful spectacle of Trump’s meeting with President Zelenskyy will prove to be a huge miscalculation on Trump’s part. I’ve spoken to over two dozen people so far—Republicans, Democrats and independents. Without exception, they’re angry and embarrassed by what they saw on TV. Truly shocking.

What happened in the Oval Office on Friday — the obviously planned ambush of Zelensky by Trump and Vance — was something that had never happened in the nearly 250-year history of this country! Our president sided with the aggressor, the dictator and the invader of Ukraine! PUTIN FIRST USA LAST

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Genuinely on the look out for sightings of Conservatives - MPs, present or past, commentators - who are as outspoken in their solidarity with Ukraine today as they were when doing so carried no potential penalty in getting on the wrong side of Maga.

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…
